Review
It's Will Johnson's voice that makes Centro-Matic so irresistible: He's gruff and hidden in the guitar fuzz. You strain to hear what he's saying--and that's the hallmark of his success--you keep straining. Fort Recovery marks a decade or so since Johnson formed the outfit, and he dives in with guitars blurry and brimming with sound, his voice curling around the strums like shadows, as on the relatively cleanly-played "Patience for the Ride." Centro-Matic is a couple steps away from the acclaim that the Drive-by Truckers pull down, partially because Johnson's songs are unyielding. They feedback and go slow and feature broken-flow guitar parts (to wit: "Calling Thermatico") and never are just a backdrop for lyrics. Johnson's a bit like Neil Young in that it takes several personas to figure him out: South San Gabriel is weirdly folk-pop and Centro goes for the jugular with guitars getting gritty. Perhaps he's exasperated by his music, pulling him and pushing him with a jostling rock storm of ideas until he relents and makes a killer album like Fort Recovery. --Andrew BartlettOften Compared to the Likes of the Replacements, the Flaming Lips and Neil Young, this is the Band's First Album for Cooking Vinyl. Includes Three Bonus Tracks Not on the Us Release, "Bucket Full of Nails", "Not Like Anyone Would" and "Gunmetal and Engines".
